"My Morgan"

This is simple, and there were no pictures to capture the moment. But it's post-worthy.

While looking at photos from our recent family trip to Norway, Allie turned to me and said, "It's MY Morgan - my best friend!"

Then she noticed and requested her teak elephant that Bestafar gave her on the trip. When queried as to where she go the carving, Allie replied, "in The Norway, from my Papa."

Let it be noted that Allie forgets nothing and no one. Her family in Norway is in her heart as much today as they were in May. She talks about "her Madalyn, her Marcus, her Besta, Dagfinn..." as if they were down the street. Possible, she believes that "The Norway" is down the street. Whatever the distance is in her two-year-old mind, they are close in her heart.

Potty Time

According to Allie, potties can be used for a number of things - not including elimination. Panties and or training pants, however, are an integral part of "doing one's business"

Allie gets to do "bump-a-dee" with her second favorite guy. Uncle Morgan turned out to be her sweet heart. She even feel asleep atop her uncle half way back to the car.

You get sugar from this sweety any way you can!
Here they are - the most beautiful grandchildren Besta and Dagfinn have ;)

The proof! Allie can make ANYONE get up and dance!

Allie instantly fell in love with her familiy. She had an immediate recognition that they were hers - no explaination needed.
